M&C
For remote monitor and control of the ODU, you can use a 6570 Remote Controller, or a
computer connected to the serial interface or the LAN interface (RBUCs only).
If you are using a 6570 Remote Controller, use the cable supplied with the 6570.
If you are using the serial interface, use an M&C cable to connect the BUC to a
computer.
If you are using the LAN interface, use the LAN RBUC/Controller M&C
(Indoor/Outdoor) cable to connect the RBUC to a computer. A temporary connection to
the serial interface is required to set up the LAN interface in an RBUC.
Power supply units
The 6580B PSU is mounted on the pole at the base of the antenna with the mounting
hardware supplied. DC may be supplied to the BUC via the
BIAS-T
connector on the
6580B using the Tx IF coaxial cable, or via the AUX terminal connectors for externally
powered BUCs.
The DuraComm
®
IDU PSU is rack-mounted indoors, requiring suitable DC cables to be
run to the outdoor equipment for externally powered BUCs. DC may also be supplied to
the BUC via the
BIAS-T connector on the PSU using the Tx IF coaxial cable.
The 7580 is mounted on the pole or boom below the BUC. The pole or universal boom
mounting kit is used for mounting the PSU.

NOTE
The 6560 and 6570 can be used for monitoring and controlling a BUC
only. They cannot monitor or control the 7586L.
